Focus Group Footage Editing

After holding our focus group, James Scott and I stayed behind after school to upload the footage we had recorded on the Ipad to the Apple Mac in order to cut out any mistakes or waiting around for trailers to play to make it more fluid and decrease to file size so we could upload the video to youtube and present it on our blogs. As the video file was so large we spent most of the time just importing it to Final Cut Pro on the Mac, which meant we had to edit the footage today but it worked out well as it meant all of us were there for the editing process and could listen to the information the focus group provided us with. James Scott and I started the editing off by watching through and cutting out any of the errors we made when presenting the focus group. For example, a slip of the tongue when trying to ask a question.

After we had done that Sam Warren took over and edited out all the points where we were getting the trailer to play by adding transitional flashes, as it was just footage of the focus group watching a screen and their reactions didn't matter as we asked for their opinions after the trailer had finished playing. Lastly Sam added a finsih scene and title which I had to edit as the font was of the wrong proportions and hard to read.
